From: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <f4bug@amsat.org>

Per GitLab documentation [*]:

  "rules replaces only/except and they can’t be used together
   in the same job."

Since the 'rules' syntax is more powerful and we are already using
it, convert the check-dco/check-patch jobs so no job use the 'only/
except' syntax.
